Questions & Answers

What do you think about this one fitting my 07 Saturn Outlook?

It appears to be highly likely, although I cannot be sure. I would say it's very much worth the

This fits the factory radiator on a 2009 Silverado LTZ What is 8L?

The top cooler line fits my 2007 Silverado, and I believe that the top fitting on the 2009 Silverado has the same design.

The truck I own is a 2002 Silverado and it has a 5.7-liter engine. No 1/2 inch trans cooling line is available, and I am having difficulty finding it. Can I go in through this half inh and splice lines?

I used this adapter for a GMC 6 to allow a direct connection to the lock clip on the radiator and a barbed end for connecting your rubber cooling line. There is a 0 and a In this case, you will not have to use the GM 90-degree part.

It will fit my 95 Impala SS, will it not?

My Chevy radiator was a perfect fit

This works for the Trans Flush on NNBS Chevy/GMC trucks
5/5

To replace the cooler line, place it on the top left side of the radiator (left when facing the grill). A clear tube with an ID of 3/8" is recommended. Turn on the engine (in park) and let the coolant out for up to 10 seconds. In order to avoid the problem I will describe later, it is recommended that you measure what comes out and put the same volume back in. The vehicle needs to be turned Make sure the transmission is full again. Repetition is key. If you start the engine and get bubbles in the line, you should shut it off, remove the pan, and not have fluid rush all over you. (I couldn't get my drain plug out for the life of me. ) After a fluid swap, do not assume that the dipstick is right the first time after all of the effort. This is likely not the case since the fluid will be aerated, and the torque converter is not yet fully refilled. There are so many people who think their transmission slips after performing one of these fluid swaps but don't realize that they haven't filled it all the way up again. A lot of fluid will come out of the drain That's a lot of water. It is recommended that you get 4 gallons of fluid at least for the transmission swap to replace all the fluid for real and to be able to refill the transmission fully. For the dipstick to read correctly, it has to be filled up, checked, then driven through the gears, not to mention moved a few yards back and forth, then checked Make sure you repeat it Make sure you check again when you arrive at your first destination or when you get home. In the event that your car slips after performing this swap, it is possible you haven't refilled enough fluid. When you go through an invasive swap like this you will find the dipstick lies, particularly if you don't measure what you take out and replace. Do you know how I know that? As a DIYer myself, I have helped a few DIYers who thought their transmission had failed after the swap (because you hear this happens "all the time") and when they checked the fluid after the first attempt, their transmission was fine. It's a good thing they didn't drive very far since they did not destroy anything. Do not eat what you take out. Measure the food you eat before you eat it.

It was much cheaper to do a transmission flush than to replace it
5/5

As part of a transmission flush for a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban, this adapter was utilized. You can attach the filter to the upper cooler line of the radiator, start the car, and out will come the transmission Once 12 seconds have passed, stop and put a few quarts into The adapter is perfect! Be careful not to lose the little spring clip that holds it on the cooler, or you will lose the adapter. It is possible to find video tutorials online to help with.

This is excellent
5/5

The product was plastic - not brass - and matched perfectly with my install of a transmission fluid cooler in This engine has a 6 cylinder 4L displacement. A hose connector of high pressure was made simple when connecting to the radiator.

This is perfect for a 2003 Chevrolet I love it
5/5

For flushing transmission fluid on my 2003 Suburban, it works perfectly. Installs in upper radiator fitting only (no lower fitting). Rinse the drain pan with water (*3 quarts) and refill it. Once this is attached with vinyl tubing, turn the engine on, let 1 quart flow out, then turn it off, then fill 1 quart again. It is easy to complete.

It worked like a charm! The transmission filter needs to be changed every 70000 miles according to the recommendation but I keep the return line connected and change the fluid every 30 days
5/5

There are somewhere around 40. 000 of them. Basically, this means it's a walk in the park. As well as working on a ‘12 Chevy, I did an ‘02 Dodge.

It was a job well I found the adapter to be very useful
5/5

A new Dex VI was installed in place of the old one. I have also found 3/8" hose to be very versatile. It was difficult to work in a small area to remove the clip from the radiator, but this allowed the old fluid to be flushed.
